It’s Met Monday & Thrifty Treasures time.. What a great way to kick off the week .. and my return back to blogland. For those that missed me.. Thank YOU Thank YOU Thank YOU for the emails and messages. I have been one sick gal I tell ya… I started out with a simple lil ole sore throat that turned into Swine Flu.. then I ended up with Pneumonia. For 18 days straight I was like the walking dead… I thought for sure my time was up. Now all that’s left is a lil hacking cough.. but all is good.

I’m sharing a few things I picked up before all that sickness and a finished project I teased y’all with before going awol on ya.

On my last Met Monday post .. I shared with y’all this cookie jar. I had planned on sending this one off to Goodwill, but decided I’d try a lil chalkboard paint on it.

Taped off the area I didn’t want chalkboard paint on .. and viola .. Finished jar on the right. Also on the right is a candle stand that was being used to hold a birdcage and it suffered a crash on the fireplace..

With a little Gorilla Glue .. yeah that’s all I had in the house.. and a fresh coat of flat black .. it’s good as new again.

When I saw this next piece at Goodwill for $2.74 I knew it would be perfect to replace the clay candle stand as the birdcages new stand. Sprayed it black .. and of course I didn’t get a picture of it after I added the gloss black.. but trust me .. it’s darling. And that Rocking Horse in the background .. he’s in the middle of a morph .. so look for him in an upcoming post.

I found these small pumpkins and gourds at Dollar General for .99 a bag and the small pumpkins with the leaves and flowers for .99 ea.

Arranged them in the birdcage..

My Sweet Husband gathered up some of my fall stuff from outta the garage.. that basket has been Morphed so many times.. I can’t even count.

Finished basket..

I love this little scarecrow pumpkin .. He lights up!

Isn’t he just the cutest.. So Fall!

I didn’t have enough to do the front and back of the basket the same .. so I started adding these jack-o-lanterns.. which will be perfect for Halloween .. all I have to do is just turn the basket around.

Next .. time to toss out the daisies ..

Ahhhh Welcome Fall!

If you feel far from God, Who Moved?

Dear God, whenever I feel that you are distant, help me to realize that I'm the one who has moved, not you. Help me to see any barrier's in me and lead me to the help I need to resolve these. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
